Jinx 's fate was decided at the end of Arcane , or was it? The series based on the League of Legends concluded its second season, bringing significant endings for its characters, including Jinx.
The relationship between sisters Jinx and Vi (voiced by Ella Purnell and Hailee Steinfeld, respectively) was the central focus of both seasons of Arcane . Jinx, in particular, experienced an emotional rollercoaster marked by devastating losses. However, in the series' climax, she finally managed to break that cycle.
What happened to Jinx at the end of Arcane?
Warning: the following text contains spoilers for season 2 of Arcane.
Following Isha's sacrifice in episode 6, Jinx finds herself consumed by grief and depression. During this dark time, she imagines a conversation with Silco, her adoptive father, who reminds her that "killing is a cycle" and that "it only ends when you find the strength to follow another path.".
Although tired of fighting, Jinx rejects Vi's offer to help her in the war in Piltover and destroys the last vestiges of her old life. On the verge of taking her own life, Ekko appears to save her and encourages her to "build something new.".
When war breaks out in Piltover, Jinx fights alongside Vi against Warwick , who once housed the mind of Vander, the sisters' father. During the final battle, Jinx sacrifices herself by throwing herself and Warwick into an unstable portal, detonating a grenade to end them both.
Did Jinx really die?
Although the season finale suggests Jinx's death, clues point to the contrary. One indication is the presence of air vents in the Hexgates, suggesting a possible escape route. Furthermore, the final scene shows a lone aircraft flying over the ocean.
For many, this symbolizes that Jinx may have survived and is seeking a new beginning. Although Arcane doesn't have a third season , this theory fuels the hope that Jinx has achieved a happy ending.
